That Israel has chosen to publicly come out against the government of
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad just when he and his Russian and
Iranian allies seemed to have scored a major victory suggests that there
is a lot more to the drama than meets the eye. (Isn't there always?)

Whether a new grand initiative, perhaps on Iran, is in the making, or
the Syrian crisis is nearing another major unexpected twist, is hard to
tell, but the recent interview of the Israeli Ambassador to the US,
Michael Oren, in the Jerusalem Post brought up both of these
possibilities.

There are several odd things in this statement: it came after many
months of silence from the Israeli government, with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reprimanding on occasion ministers who would
break rank and speak out against Assad. It came from a diplomat rather
than a politician - albeit a diplomat who is believed to be very close
to the prime minister. And most importantly, it came at a time when
Assad is widely perceived to be making progress in the bloody civil war. (That is not a civil war)

That the Russian-American agreement preventing a US military attack in
exchange for a somewhat unrealistic commitment (?) from Syria to give up its
chemical weapons has bolstered Assad in the short term is evident from
the fact that the Syrian army resumed with full force its conventional
offensive against rebel positions near Damascus the moment the threat of
Tomahawk missiles flying in had dissipated.

Amid a heavy fog of war, some versions of the story go as far as to
claim that a military operation had been nipped in the bud by the
Syrians and the Russians. Various unconfirmed speculations suggest that
cruise missiles or even American aircraft had been shot down near
Syria's borders, while more credible reports claim that a significant
foreign-sponsored rebel offensive launched from Jordan turned into a
disaster and was beaten back with heavy losses.
( I seem to recall this episode? And think Ziad at Syper may have covered this also)

"This was a well-trained and equipped force meant to eventually reach
Damascus and overthrow the regime," a Western diplomatic source told the
World Tribune earlier this month (bits and pieces about the rebel
debacle came out in regional media as well).

"Instead, the rebels crossed the Jordanian border and within hours were on the run." [1]

In other words, all of a sudden Israel appeared to throw its weight
behind the losing side in the Syrian civil war. On the other hand, I
have written previously in these pages (see Syria attack stuck in fog-shrouded limbo
, Asia Times Online, September 11, 2013) that the US-Russian
agreement could increase the chance of a Western military intervention
in Syria down the road, and the Israeli government usually has advance
notice on such developments.

Alternatively, there are some indications of a grand bargain shaping up
between the US and Iran, and Israel may be trying to present itself as a
victim of American timidity in Syria in order to force the hand of US (Israel as a victim, very typical, very,very typical mind control meme)President Barack Obama to come down harder on the Islamic Republic.
Reports that the new Iranian president, Hassan Rohani, may be willing to
shut down the heavily fortified uranium enrichment site at Fordow [2]
back this hypothesis.

In fact, the prevailing wisdom among analysts is that the Syrian civil
war and the Iranian nuclear program would be closely linked in any
US-Iranian negotiations. Israel is well aware of this linkage, and may
be trying to use it to its advantage.

According to Israeli analyst Avi Shilon,

The strategic objective is ... to carry out in Iran what will happen in
Syria. Because it's clear to everyone that Iran's nuclear program, like
the chemical weapons in Syria, cannot be destroyed completely in a
military attack. The disarmament agreement in Syria produces a result
more effective than any bomb - even if it is not implemented in its
entirety. Netanyahu is now at the peak of implementing his strategy -
precisely because of the reasons that ostensibly prove that it is
weakening. [3]

There are certainly significant risks for both Israelis and Americans in
this strategy, not least because Iran may choose to heat the situation
in Syria up in order to drive a harder bargain over its nuclear program.

It doesn't help that, according to some analysts such as the US-based
firm Stratfor, a US military intervention in Syria (likely to turn into
another quagmire) may in fact serve Iran's longer-term interests:

Unlike Syria's Arab neighbors, which want stability in the
region, Iran welcomes disruption. It is reasonably secure internally,
and it knows its spheres of influence may weaken but ultimately will not
dissolve. Strategists also believe that having lived under sanctions
for decades, Iran has grown accustomed to suffering. So while chaos in
Syria would threaten inherently weak Arab states, it would not affect
Iran quite as much. Tehran could then exploit Arab chaos to its
advantage. [4]

But for now, amid continued bickering at the United Nations Security
Council about who is responsible for the use of chemical weapons in
Syria and what threats to include in the upcoming resolution addressing
the crisis, diplomacy is the order of the day.

The long-expected report by the UN chemical weapons experts, which was
finally released on Monday, confirmed that sarin had been used in the
August 21 attack on Damascus suburbs, but omitted a few important
details, and included a few important disclaimers. It did not, for
example, explicitly blame the government for the gas attack.
"What I'm not seeing is any explicit technical description of what
biological analyses were performed...," he said in an email. "The report
has also been very careful not to attribute origin - I've seen no
commentary on the Cyrillic lettering found on one of the shells...!"

The fine print of the methodology descriptions also raises some
eyebrows. What comes out is that the inspectors were under tremendous
time pressure and had to rely on the rebels for interview subjectsand
access to sites. "During the time spent at these locations, individuals
arrived carrying other suspected munitions indicating that such
potential evidence is being moved and possibly manipulated," the report
clearly states.

Pg 18- The time necessary to conduct a detailed survey of both locations as well as take samples was very limited. The sites have been very well travelled by other individuals both before and during the investigation. Fragments and other possible evidence have clearly been handled/moved prior to the arrival of the investigation team.

There were also chain of command issues. And relying on the rebels for interview subjects? ( I did not mention this aspect, but, wondered if this were the case?)

In closing, we have to ask what game Israel is playing by showing their true face to the world. Is Israel hoping to up their usual victim game, to coerce the US into playing hardball with Iran?

"Is Israel hoping to up their usual victim game, to coerce the US into playing hardball with Iran?"Yes, I think so.

Have you noticed lately the alarmist gushings of the Christian Zionist idiot Lindsey Graham, often partnered by McCain? Basically he is hyping the 'existential threat' of Iran to Israel, but also promoting the idea that Iran will nuke the USA directly by means of a nuke in a cargo ship. That of course would be a perfect scenario for a false-flag attack by you know who to be blamed on Iran. Bull-horn Alex has 'exposed' this potential false-flag.

Now it you have done your homework on Albania, you know how powerful the State Intelligence Service (SHISH) is. Also you will know they are trained by and very integrated with the CIA. A little study on the MKO and you know they were created by the CIA years ago and I look at them as an extension of their creators still today.

So, its this so called defection some sort of method to get these 70 off the radar to be used later?? Could this be a move in the "new grand initiative, perhaps on Iran, is in the making, or the Syrian crisis is nearing another major unexpected twist"??

A war will happen between Israhell and Iran no matter when or what. The war will be unavoidable once iran gets a tight grip around the neck of the zionists(which is likely gonna happen in a few years). The UN should take away Israel's nukes and then let them face the iranians. Zionist cowards are nothing without their nukes.

Once the occupied state is obliterrated, that's when peace in the middle east will happen. That's when us muslims are no longer labelled and seen as terrorists. We are kind and caring people, we are not what the west makes their people believe we are . Our region was the start of civillizations, the foundation of mathematics, poetry, physics, chemistry and art. We are not barbarians!

The joke is that brown Moses blog is credible : yo he so he'd have to be objective : but anyone who peruses his blog can find posts showing his anti-Assad orientation : what he post will support this stand point

A short scan of a few articles at the Brown Moses site convinced me it is zionist disinformation. Like Debka, not particularly good at the deception, either. There is a lot of these things on the web, it's part of the psyops war on us.

Think about this?

Stop being Manipulated by the Elites

For if you [the rulers] suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves [outlaws] and then punish them.´ - Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)

Edward Bernays: Perception Management it is a Reality

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society,"

"Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. . . . In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons . . . who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
